[b] Alexei Dragunov - Warakuma Shopping District: Shirohane Flower Store. [/b]

She accented to his suggestions with politeness as she took the card, a saddened expression crossing her face for the briefest of periods. He knew it was downer to even the most cheery of people but if he could change things he would. She then politely accepted the payment and offered to agree on an agreement of a later date. Alexei just gave her a thankful bow and an uneasy smile.

Just as she had finished the door opened again and another person walked in. Another one from his school and judging by the rudeness and the shrill pitch he knew who it was. Aiko Yamamoto. Though he was new, he had heard the stories of the vain duo of Warakuma High. the way he addressed Kotori also made him a bit displeased but Toma stepped in and took control of the situation. Alexei was meanwhile politely asked by a concerned mother to make haste.

He bowed again, "Thank you, Shirohane-dono. I also apologize for the rudeness of my colleague. I shall take your leave now." before giving a smile to the patron and turning to face the others. As he closed on them, he heard Kotori's last few words. He glared at Aiko as he came up to the trio motioning with his hands to move out.

"You have my sincere thanks, Kotori-chan. My apologies for his behavior. " he said as he gave her a curt bow before taking the other two seniors by the shoulders and gently prodding them out of the shop.

"You have caused a bit of a scene already, I think we can continue this interrogation outside. Kotori-chan has nothing more to add I believe so leave her be." he relied in a deep rumble as they made for the shop's gate.
